SENDING FOUR CLASSES OF THIRD GRADERS OVER TO WIN HAM HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE THEY CAN GET THEIR OWN WING OF THE BUILDING. ADAM SEXTON JOINS US WITH REACTION FROM SOME OF THE PARENTS. MOST PEOPLE ARE RAISING AN EYEBROW WHEN THEY HEAR THAT THIRD GRADERS WILL BE SHARING A BUILDING WITH A BUDGE HIGH SCHOOLERS. BUT ADMINISTRATORS SAY THEY'LL BE DOING THEIR BEST TO MAKE THE CHANGE AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE KIDS. SOME THIRD GRADERS IN WINDHAM WILL BE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL ABOUT FIVE YEARS EARLIER THAN EXPECTED.

BUT WITH THE MOLD CONCERNS, PARENTS ARE GLAD ADMINISTRATORS THEY GOT THE KIDS OUT OF THE CLASSROOMS QUICKLY. I ADMIRE THEM IN PUTTING TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT HAS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE STUDENTS. TODAY'S LETTER GAVE NO UPDATE ON THE POSSIBLE MOLD SITUATION. THERE WILL BE AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOR PARENTS AT GOLDEN
